“…For example, the reported prevalence rate of alcohol drinking among Chinese female had increased from 2.58% in 1993 (PRC, 1995) to 4.5% in 2002 (Ma et al, 2005) (Yu et al, 1995) and estrogen (Taioli et al, 1996) had also been reported to affect the relationship between alcohol drinking and breast cancer in different ethnics. For example, 10398G allele in the mitochondrial genome was reported to influence the alcohol metabolism, which may also modify the association between alcohol drinking and breast cancer (Pezzotti et al, 2009). Additionally, consistent J-shaped curve of alcohol drinking on the risk of diseases was found in many cardiovascular diseases (White et al, 1999;Gmel et al, 2001).…”
